For the Lo Mein Sauce:
- 3 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Pinch of Kosher salt
For the Chicken Lo Mein:
- 12 ounces spaghetti (about ¾ of a package)
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons canola oil, separated
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (6 ounce) package of snow peas, snipped and strings removed
- 1 (8 ounce) package of sliced white button (or cremini) mushrooms
- 1 heaping cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into ¼" strips
- 1 yellow onion, quartered and sliced into ¼" strips
Instructions
For the Lo Mein Sauce:
- Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt to a small mixing bowl, and whisk to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
For the Chicken Lo Mein:
- Place a large pot of heavily salted water over high heat, and bring to a roaring boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions. In the meantime, prepare the chicken.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and transfer to a cutting board. Cutting against the grain, slice into ¼" strips. Drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon canola oil, and sprinkle with salt, ginger, and pepper. Massage oil and spices into the chicken and set aside until ready to use.
- Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4 minutes. Turn, and sear for 3-4 minutes, until golden-brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pan, and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add in all of the vegetables, and stir to coat with oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring a few times every minute or so. Once the vegetables have softened and cooked through, add them to the bowl with the chicken.
- Add the strained pasta to the bowl, and pour over the sauce. Using a pair of tongs, toss the ingredients until well-combined. Serve and enjoy.
